Foliola 15-20-juga, subfalcato-linearia, incurvo-mucronata, costa marginali, 3-4 lin. longa,

This may prove to be a variety of C. tristicula ; but it appears distinct. 
The following supposed species have been named only, or so imperfectly described as 
to make it impossible now to identify them, although there is very little doubt that they 
are all included under other names in the foregoing enumeration :— 
C. aurita, Collad. Hist. Cass. 131; C. macradena, Collad. l. c. 132 ; and C. tuberculata, Collad. /. c. 133, 
all from Brazil, probably common Rio Janeiro species, all named by Colladon on the sole authority of 
the very meagre diagnoses given in Vandelli, Fl. Lus. et Bras. specim. 26 (also in Reem. Script. 104). 
C. dispar, Willd. Enum. Hort. Berol. 441; C. hirta, Willd. J. c. Suppl. 23; C. elegans, Voigt, in Syll. 
Fl. Ratisb. ii. 55; C. eglandulosa, Dum. Cours, ex DC. Prod. ii. 506 ; C. homophylla, Hoffmans. Verz. ex 
DC. Prod. ii. 506; C. glaucescens and C. papulosa, Hoffmans. 1. c. ex Steud, Nom. Bot. ; C. acisperma, 
Colla, Hort. Rip. App. ii. 343, are all garden plants very imperfectly described, mostly without having 
seen flowers or fruit, and now not to be recognized. : 
C. ornata, Klotzsch in Schomb. Reis. Gui. iii. (Vers. Faun. u. Fl. Brit. Gui.) 1104; C. Arowana, Schomb. 
l. c. 1206; C. Schomburgkii, C. leucoxylon, and C. annulata, Klotzsch, l.c. 1207, are names only, without 
quotation of numbers or any other means of identification, and, without doubt, included among the species 
above enumerated, as I had received from Sir Robert Schomburgk what he considered a complete set 
of his own and his brother's Guiana collections. 
C. australis, Reinw.; C. biglandulosa, Bertol., referred by Sprengel to C. patellaria; C. bonariensis, 
Hortul., referred by Colladon to C. corymbosa; C. purgans, Steud., named from Bertero's Chilian speci- 
mens, n. 148, are names only entered in Steudel’s * Nomenclator Botanicus.’ 
The following supposed species do not belong to the genus :— 
C. biflora, Mill.! Dict. n. 14, non Linn., altered to C. Houstoniana, Collad. Hist. Cass. 132, was 
founded on a small imperfect specimen of an Æschynomene. 
C. paramariboensis, Miq. in Ann. Nat. Hist. ser. 1, xi. 15, from Surinam, described from fruiting 
specimens without having seen the flowers ( Mig. in Linnea, xviii. 584), is evidently Æschynomene sen- 
sitiva, L. 
C. disperma, Vell. Fl. Flum. 167, Ic. iv. t. 69,— Peltophorum Vogelianum, Benth. 
C. fluminensis, Vell. 1. c. 168, t. 72,— Dimorphandra exaltata, Schott. 
.C. parahyba, Vell. 1. c. t. 71 — Schizolobium excelsum, Vog. 
C. paratyensis, Vell. l, c. t. 70, is no Cassia; but the genus is uncertain.
